http://thejunkshop.net/ The Junkshop en-us Everything in the free programs sections has been checked for the latest version, added screen shots and made sure the authors page was linked. http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=84.html Something I found on computerandvideogames.com A phishing email scam is circulating the internet, asking Steam users to enter their account details in order to receive a free version of CounterStrike: Pro. We've had at least ten between us this morning. We received the dodgy message this morning, which told us to follow these steps in order to claim our copy of the game: * Visit the Steam homepage http://www.steampowered.com/. * Log yourself in by using your Steam Username and Password. (If you are in a public place, make sure you are the only one that sees your account information) * After logging in you wil get an activation code, copy the code and move on to the next step. * You will now have to choose between ATI & nVIDIA. * After clicking on the ATI or nVIDIA logo, you will be asked for the activation code (So make sure you have copied the code) * After following all this steps, your game is now activated on your Steam account. You can now go to the 'Games' tab on Steam and download your free version of CounterStrike : Pro. Unfortunately, the link to the Steam homepage isn't legit. Links provided to the CVG team took us to both a fake Steam website and a porn portal that our web browser (and IT / HR department) had a hissy fit over. We advise you to delete the email if you receive it. Unless you want your credit card information to spill out all over the underground of the interweb. Which of course you don't. http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=83.html The downloads are working but the screen shots were lost in the move. I still need to check the programs section for updated versions. All the old server packs were removed so they can be updated also. There was 15 new maps added to the servers over the weekend and the new pack was added to the downloads section. Grab the pack here http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=82.html Team Fortress 2 Updated Fixed team switches on Attack/Defense maps spamming the console Fixed the Kritzkrieg not working on servers with crits turned off Fixed some clipped localized strings in various in-game dialogs Fixed several cases where files were synchronously loaded while the game was running Fixed a shutdown crash in the material system Cached rendering of item model panels to improve performance, in particular while weapon selection was visible Added a gear symbol behind the health bar for Engineer buildings, in both target IDs and freeze panels Players killing themselves will now give a kill credit to the last enemy who damaged them Fixed grenades, rockets, and flamethrower being able to fire through grates at round starts Fixed players being killed and creating ragdolls during team switches Fixed various exploits and performance problems in CP_Badlands, CP_Well, and CP_Fastlane Removed health bonus from the Backburner http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=81.html I ran into every problem that I could when this site was moved but its almost back now. I still have lots to fix but it will be done soon. http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=80.html We have a new forums up on another server that will be are main forums now. This site is slow at times and I am thinking it's the cms. At the end of the summer I may trash this site and start with a new cms but it's going to be just downloads. In the next few weeks I will try to bridge a photo gallery to the new forums so there will be no need for users here anymore. You can sign up at http://www.clan-fc.com I have also added a custom bb code to the new forums for youtube video's and there is a feature to add them to your sigs but please don't it just makes the threads to long if everyone does it. You can start as many video threads as you want. http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=79.html Proving itself even more worthy of adoration, developer Blizzard has rejected an offer that would have seen reviled director Uwe Boll working on a World of Warcraft film. "I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard [about a World of Warcraft film] and he said, 'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you...especially not to you,'" Boll informed MTV News. "Because it's such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income." The director of such game-to-film adaptations as Far Cry, BloodRayne, Alone in the Dark, Postal, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale and House of the Dead also spoke on the importance of ignoring a game's core fanbase. "To be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right?" Boll reasoned. "They don't pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why [should I] please these guys? I need the normal audience." Last August, Blizzard confirmed it would thankfully be taking the reigns of the Warcraft movie rights, with the studio-endorsed film, produced in conjunction with Legendary Pictures, currently slated for a vague 2009 release. www.shacknews.com http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=78.html Red vs Blu is done! The only changes to the final version is, 1.Removed ammo pack from intel room to slow defense a little. 2. Fixed flag so no grabs from the back of the wall. 3. Respawn timer should take about 8 to 10 seconds max to respawn to speed up the map a little. This map was made for teamwork lots of spots for forward bases and charging up ubers, 4 routes the the enemy base. You will need at least 2 or 3 players to defend intel. Right now you will need to vote for it or have admins set it until I see if you guys want to play it in the rotation. Stats are being turned off after the billing cycle, Sorry Myself and a few other think it has affected teamplay and has caused lots of bad games. I do my best to make the server competitive and a friendly place to play and the stats really seems to affect that. http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=77.html To help the server load time for new players and when new maps are added I started doing map packs to help load the maps faster please download them all HERE I also added a custom tags for the servers if you go to the new tab called custom and type in ctf you will find both the fc servers. Please start going to the other server when the main is full to help get it going. Its rotation has been changed to the fastest pace ctf maps. If you have any ideas to get this server going tell me I don't want to turn it off but I cant see paying for a empty server. This will be bad for fc regulars because if its turned of the main fc server will need to be locked for practice a few night a week. http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=76.html Since the new server is lacking players I changed it to a full time cp server the standard rotation is Code:: cp_warpath tc_hydro cp_smbcastle2 cp_well cp_horus_b3 cp_granary cp_castle3 cp_dustbowl cp_toy_fort_beta2 cp_gravelpit cp_orange_cross2_v2 ctf_well cp_labor cp_badlands It will still have all the same ctf maps but must be voted or admins must change them. There is 4 vote for or admin change melee maps added Code:: melee_ringking melee_snowvalley cp_meleebarn ctf_magnetic This is the custom cp maps added Code:: cp_smbcastle2 cp_horus_b3 cp_castle3 cp_toy_fort_beta2 cp_orange_cross2_v2 cp_labor cp_warpath Please post more cp or melee map suggestions in our tf2 forum. We have started to do server map packs to help speed up map downloads in game. If this works well it will help us add larger maps to the server so new players wait time is not so long. Download both packs here SERVER PACKS Please check back for more packs weekly. http://thejunkshop.net/News/article/sid=75.html
